4	* AcclaimedFlop: Despite rave reviews and even winning the Golden Space Needle Award at the Seattle International Film Festival [[note]] Which even beat out Film/TheHurtLocker, that years best picture Oscar winner [[/note]], it only made just short of $300,000 and closed after two weeks. Luckily the film did very well on DVD and showings on Starz which prompted Adult Swim to pick up an animated spin off.
5	* AwesomeDearBoy: Arsenio Hall agreed to a cameo when he saw the script had a character called [[AwesomeMcCoolName "Captain Kangaroo Pimp."]]
6	* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget: $2,900,000, Box office: $296,557.
7	* CastTheExpert: Michael Jai White holds black belts in no less than ''seven'' different styles of martial arts.
8	* CompletelyDifferentTitle:
9	** Taiwan: ''Black Kill Order''
10	* ThrowItIn:
11	** Deliberately parodying the tendency of {{Blaxploitation}} films to do this. An example includes a {{Mook}} whose car door gets stuck on a curb, and later another Mook forgets to put the brakes on his car while getting out to shoot. In the [[DVDBonusContent DVD extras]], they explain that the latter was an ''actual'' error, not an intentional "error". Naturally, they kept it in.
12	** "But Black Dynamite, I sell drugs in the community!" was improvised.
13	* ViralMarketing: [=FightSmackInTheOrphanage.org=], "[[CaptainObvious because orphans don't have parents]]."
14	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Eddie Murphy was offered a cameo, but declined. Arsenio Hall was cast instead.

18	* ActorAllusion:
19	** Creator/SamuelLJackson as an ocean expert who [[spoiler:[[Film/DeepBlueSea gets eaten in the middle of a speech]]]] during "Black Jaws"
20	** Creator/JohnDimaggio is also quite familiar with [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood deadly]] [[Franchise/{{Ben 10}} clowns]].
21	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite decent viewership numbers, the show was cancelled by Adult Swim after two seasons. Reasons are unknown, but the show's very detailed animation caused the show to become too expensive for the network, causing them to ax the show.
